Article Abstract

In clinical practice, it has become urgent to develop multifunctional wound dressings that can combat infection and prompt wound healing simultaneously. In this study, we proposed a polydopamine/alginate/nanoselenium composite hydrogel (Alg-PDA-Se) for the treatment of infected wounds. In particular, polydopamine endows the composite hydrogel with controllable near-infrared photothermal properties, while low-dosage selenium nanoparticles (Se NPs) offer excellent anti-oxidation, anti-inflammatory, pro-proliferative, pro-migration, and pro-angiogenic performances, which are verified by multiple cells, including macrophages, fibroblasts, and endothelial cells. More interestingly, the combination of mild temperature with low-dosage Se NPs produces a synergistic effect on combating both () and () and promoting the healing of bacteria-infected wounds in vivo. We anticipate that the designed composite hydrogel might be a potential candidate for anti-infection bioactive dressing.

Electrically Conductive Hydrogels for Wound Healing.

Adv Wound Care (New Rochelle)

Beijing Laboratory of Biomedical Materials, State Key Laboratory of Organic-Inorganic Composites, Beijing University of Chemical Technology, Beijing, PR China.

Wound healing is a complex, tightly regulated process involving a range of enzymes, growth factors, and cytokines that coordinate cellular activities essential for tissue repair and wound closure. However, in cases of extensive or severe injury, the intrinsic repair mechanisms are often insufficient, underscoring the need for advanced therapeutic strategies to accelerate healing and minimize scar formation. Electrically conductive hydrogels (ECHs), combining the advantageous properties of hydrogels with the physiological and electrochemical characteristics of conductive materials, present a safer and more convenient alternative to traditional electrode-based electrical stimulation (ES) for treating chronic and nonhealing wounds.

School of Chemical Engineering and Light Industry, Guangdong University of Technology, Guangzhou, Guangdong, 510006, China. Electronic address:

The development of effective hemostatic and antibacterial dressings remains a critical challenge in wound management. We report the design and fabrication of novel porous composite hydrogels composed of carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC), silica (SiO), and zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO NPs) . The incorporation of SiO and ZnO NPs into the CMC hydrogel matrix resulted in a unique multi-scale porous structure, characterized by interconnected holes of various sizes, which significantly enhanced the hydrogel's liquid absorption capacity and mechanical strength.

Hydrogen sulfide (HS) has been recognized as one of the three main gasotransmitters found extensively in tissues, regulating functions crucial for survival. In many pathological cases, its concentration drops from the intrinsic level, impairing healing and leading to unmet regeneration outcomes. A hybrid microparticle/hydrogel system was developed to sustainably release HS and regulate its level in deprived tissues.

Key Laboratory of Colloid and Interface Chemistry (Ministry of Education), Shandong University, Jinan 250100, PR China. Electronic address:

Multiple stretchable gels with conductivity have been thoroughly prepared in diverse solvents historically to modulate their superlative properties in a multitude of applications, such as soft robotics, wearable devices, and e-skins. Eutectogels are considered as an emerging class of gels that combine the best features of both hydrogels and organogels, including environmental friendliness, thermal stability and customizable nature. Eutectogels, composed of deep eutectic solvents (DES) immobilized within different matrices, not only inherit the merits of DES, but also show some additional properties derived from the special structure and compositions, which are conducive to development potential.

Four different biomedical patches were bioprinted using nanocomposite hydrogels of sodium alginate/gelatin, sodium alginate/gelatin/indocyanine green freely dispersed, sodium alginate/gelatin/empty liposomes and sodium alginate/gelatin/indocyanine green loaded liposomes. Quasi-static and dynamic nanoindentations of the patch surfaces were performed to examine the effect of the single component on the mechanical response. The combination of results suggests that the mechanical structure of the gels is strongly influenced by crosslinking and the liposomes incorporating dye.
